Thinking of importing a luxury car into Nigeria this year? Between customs duties, shipping fees, and unpredictable exchange rates, the final cost can rise fast. In 2025, changes in import levies and port logistics have made it even trickier to estimate the true landed cost.
At Stock Motorcars, we simplify the process — offering fully cleared, ready-to-drive vehicles so you skip the stress, hidden charges, and months-long wait.
Breaking Down the Real Costs
Importing a luxury vehicle into Nigeria involves more than the sticker price. Here’s what typically adds up:
- Vehicle Cost (FOB): The base purchase price abroad.
- Shipping & Freight: Ocean transport from ports like Houston, Dubai, or London.
- Customs Duty & Levy: Usually 35–70 % of vehicle value depending on category and policy updates.
- Clearing & Port Handling Fees: Documentation, inspection, and off-loading costs.
- Exchange Rate Fluctuation: The biggest variable in 2025 affecting your final bill.
Why Importing Alone Can Be Risky
While importing on your own may seem cheaper, hidden factors often inflate costs — from delayed shipping to sudden tariff changes. Many buyers also face damage claims or lose deposits to unverified agents.
Stock Motorcars eliminates these risks by managing every step: inspection, shipping, clearing, and registration — delivering your car ready for Lagos, Abuja, or any city nationwide.
